Tatbeeq is taken to put her experience to good use in this maiden with Secret Dancer and Modernist rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Highland Daughter last time out, form that looks fairly solid and with experience on her side she looks the one to be on. Secret Dancer rates the main danger as she is a well bred Saddler's Wells filly and should be closely watched in the market for clues as she will not need to be anything special to take a hand in the finish. Modernist shaped with promise when ninth behind Borntobouggie last time and she is sure to improve but the suspicion is she may be one to follow once handicapping. Kiho and Spanish Cruise are others that have shown a degree of ability in the past but both will be handicapped after this run and with this in mind Tatbeeq is our idea of the winner.
